Subject: [PATCH wireless-next] wifi: mwifiex: Use flexible array for RX reorder table
Date: Mon, 18 May 2026 14:18:26 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260518211826.11245-1-rosenp@gmail.com> (raw)

Embed the RX reorder pointer array in struct mwifiex_rx_reorder_tbl
instead of allocating it separately.

This ties the array to the reorder table lifetime and removes a separate
allocation and cleanup path.

Use kzalloc_flex() for this and move the counting variable assignment to
after it as it does for GCC >= 15 already.
